Mineralogical Society of South Australia
South Australia was the 3rd Mineralogical Society in Australia to be formed after New South Wales and Victoria. There are now Mineralogical Societies in Tasmania, Queensland and Western Australia. Each year on the June long weekend, a joint mineralogical Seminar is held and hosted by each state in turn. Adelaide last hosted the seminar in 2010. The topics for the seminar are chosen by the host state, and are generally based on localities, mineral groups, geological and mineralogical formation etc.
